And of course, my 24y/o dd, who loves vampires, came home the other night to proudly tell me she just saw that movie [twilight] What can I do? She loves the base and vile things of this life. I wish I knew what to do. Perhaps I will fast and pray today...

what can you do?
FFS, 24y/o means she's an adult. just leave her the fuck alone to make her own decisions and stop treating her like a child. (so yes, fast and pray. that's precisely "leaving her alone", hehe)
Sandylion, seriously, relax! As long as she is intelligent, sane, and spiritually strong enough to know that is fiction, she should be fine. So quit stressing out.
Besides, she is 24 YEARS OLD. I think if she is a functional human being, what are you doing getting all up in her business?
She saw "Twilight"? That's terrible! Quick! Get her some DVDs of all the Christopher Lee Dracula films, plus the original "Nosferatu" and coulple of Paul Naschy films to be safe, and pray that the damage hasn't been too severe!
Geeze, I HATE wimpy vampires!
If you don't take her to the cinema, someone else will! I rejoice for her that she is living a life of her own, not a suppressed existence that fundies seem to think is proper for mere women. If she had any sense whe would drop you at once. (Assuming dd = dear darling. If it is daughter, then she should get the hell out of your clutches. You are an unhealthy influence on her life.)
If I were your daughter, I'd go see the movie again and laugh my ass off at the thought of you praying and going hungry. But I'm a bitch like that, so, you know....
(Efrain)
"my 24y/o dd"
...Does that mean what I think it does?
If you think it means "dear daughter", then yes, it does.
I wish I knew what to do.
Sheesh - didn't you ever watch the old Dracula movies? Check for her reflection in a mirror. Crucifixes and garlic are supposed to work, too - or if you're caught short, you can make the sign of the cross with your fingers. If you find her coffin while she's roaming the night and out of it, destroy it. Drive a stake through her heart if you catch her sleeping in her coffin during the day. Silver bullets are said to work, too.
24 year old that watched Twilight? I'd be worried about her :p
She should be watching proper vampire films at that age, like the various adaptions of Dracula, or the brilliant "Let the Right One In"
OMG Twilight? Someone get all the seasons of Buffy and Angel , stat!
Really, other than the fact that Twilight is rather trashy fiction, this twit's got nothing to complain about.

Yes, that's exactly what they want you to think...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You have good reason to be worried: try to get her onto some decent fiction before it's too late. Praying might help; sitting her down with a copy of Dracula and no access to Twilight will help more
@ Morrigan
Not necessarily. Twilight does not exactly encourage independent women.

Eh, bad movie if you ask me. But to each their own. But why do I predict that your about to go apeshit over such a small thing?
What can I do? She loves the base and vile things of this life. I wish I knew what to do. Perhaps I will fast and pray today...
How is watching a crappy movie loving the base and vile things of this life? Also she is 24 years old, technically an adult and can do whatever she wants without your permission, she can sleep with every man and woman she sees on the street if she wants. Just let the woman live her life and love her for who she is or is that two hard.
Your 24 year old daughter still lives at home?
She has bigger problem than liking Twilight.
Also, might I suggest fasting for a months or two? It probably won't help, but it'll drive the collective IQ of humanity up a few points.
Doesn't she knows that Twilight is such a pro-fundie book? I mean, it hammers about abstinence, marriage and being a submissive wife every three pages.
The author is a very devout (and slightly creepy)mormon.
Can't disagree with the Raptard on this one. Twilight is simply very poor quality literature and only retarded people like it.
I would be pretty worried if my 24 year old daughter was vapid enough to enjoy that garbage.
Perhaps I will fast and pray today...
Do that and you'll hopefully lose a pound or two. I'm sure your fat ass could need to lose a few.
(Note to readers: I'm personally a huge fan of Vida Guerra and her rather shapely ass!)
I hate and despise Twilight.
That being said, no matter how much shit Twilight is, any grown woman who tries to stop another grown woman from watching it, and thinks that the fact that she did is a matter for PRAYER, is a grade-A idiot.
(For those saying you side with the mom: The book is shit, but so are her methods. Picture whatever your favorite movie is in the parentheses and there's probably a fundy railing against it. Acceding to censorship/hysteria of something just because you dislike it also is not a good idea.)
Oh, I don't know, let your ADULT child be her own conscience? Hmm. . . maybe if you do something she'll learn how to keep her mouth shut around you. Don't suppose you want that, do you?
She's 24, let her grow up, watch some of the classics, and learn what a real relationship and a real vampire should be.

She loves the base and vile things of this life.
Well, so does John Waters. So do I. Lots of people do. As long as we're not hurting others, why is it any of your business?
I wish I knew what to do. Perhaps I will fast and pray today.
When in fear and doubt, starve youself and talk to the wall.
As a general, all-purpose survival plan, I can't help but think that it's missing something.
Haha, while I agree Twilight is vile, I doubt it's for the same reasons. But you're seriously so upset that your 24! year old daughter likes one imaginary thing and not another (vampires vs zombie jews) that you're going to stop eating and pray all day?
Oh yeah, the tough scary vampires from Twilight that... sparkle... THEY SPARKLE !!!??
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
*wipes tears*
yeah...those are REAL scary vampires... hehe
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
